What can I do about my apartment neighbors slamming their door?

I really don't understand why they leave this many times a day, I work but today I was home for my daughters first day of school. I counted 27 times that the 2 married couple went in and out the adjacent apartment and slammed the wood door.
It isn't over yet though. It's 10:20 here and they do it all... show more I really don't understand why they leave this many times a day, I work but today I was home for my daughters first day of school.

It isn't over yet though. It's 10:20 here and they do it all night so loud that it wakes me up thru the night. I have lived here for 6 years and they have lived here for 5 and I am just plain sick and tired of it. I am about to start slamming my door on purpose because I already told my landlord about it and he's mentioned nothing, or something, to make them do it more.

Thoughts?

I can't tolerate that type of blatant disregard for neighbors. People who slam doors (obviously) were raised in a barn, and as we all know, you can't slam a barn door..it slides. They must be all a twitter about having a "real" door to slam. eew.

Disgusting.

If it's CHILDREN then rat them out. VERY highly unlikely the parents who've "raised" these uncouth little monsters will do a thing..they haven't so far.
-
Tell them you have a medical condition that magnifies loud slamming noises and if they could please not slam the door closed, it would help you medically.
-
You can opt to take it up with the property Management company and have them do the dirty work, so you won't have an enemy of these people.
-
Go to Home Depot and purchase the peel&stick padding for doors, so the sound will be muffled, include the receipt with your rent check, deducting the amount and stating the reason why. Note: This would be more effective if you had pre-emptively alerted Management to the issue, and already prepared them for this.
-
All that's left is PAYING them OFF to quit it (if you had that kind of money to throw around, you would just move)..
or
THREATENING THEM to stop..and you're really asking for it, if you took that route.

I detest inconsiderate, nincompoops who refuse to realize they are not the only people on Earth. I blame the head of this clan. Whomever is at the top of this Totum pole is either deaf, or clueless.
Terrible.

When we lived in a high rise apartment we were just kids but we had a neighbor across the hall who would do the same thing and drove my mom nuts what we did (that eventually got them to get the picture) was we would open our door across the hall and whip a basketball at their door as hard as we could just after they would slam it shut the ball would bounce into our living room and we would quickly and quietly close our door the people across the hall eventually figured out that it was us and when the guy confronted us we told him that if he was going to be an a*ss h*le and keep slamming his door then we were going to keep doing that to him and we did he eventually quit slamming his door try some passive aggressive move like that and sooner or later the offenders will get it.

They need to be told about it. Let them know what they're doing is disturbing you. You have a right to complain. Don't just sit back and tolerate it because the neighbors might not even be aware that their door slamming is even that loud.

I am from Atalanta and now in an apartment building in Vietnam.... you have no idea how loud these folks are... it must be a national past time to stomp loudly, slam doors and talk three times over a normal level... stay away from here if you value your peace of mind

I agree with gizfish...something fishy's going on over there. The last time I went in and out of my house 27 times in one day...I was taking all of my furniture out of it because I was moving. Not to mention the fact that it goes on all night as well. Are you sure it's always the tenants going in and out?...if they have an unsual amount of 'company', it's possible that something illegal is going on over there, and if there is...there's a good chance you could get that door to stop slamming permanently by having them arrested.

Believe me! I know what you are talking about!!! At least they don't have a dog that barks ALL THE TIME! and at least they dont have a kitchen cupboard that needs to be opened and closed a hundred times a day. And at least they don't have an annoying tv that needs to be turned on at all times of the day that has an annoying hum that never ends. And at least they they dont walk to and from one end of their apartment to the other for God only knows why back and forth, back and forth, back and forth 100 times a day, with HIGH HEELS.

My only suggestion is to tune it out. Get a good pair of ear plugs. You can't do anything about it or complain. They're going to think you're crazy or complain about YOU. I hope you earn a lot of money one day to have a mansion all to yourself so you don't have to deal with neighbors. And I hope the same for me!

Is their name Alvarodo-Serrano??!! at 5026 w. Agatite chicago illinois 60618 ? Those mother ******* do nothing but slam doors on purpose. People like your neighbor and cock suckers like the one's mentioned above have no life except to annoy other people until the day comes when they **** with the wrong person and have their *** handed to them.

Either talk to them about it, or give them a bad name to others. "Oh yea, those couples? Yea theyre annoying, they dont know how to properly shut a door or understand anything." You could start doing an activity. Loud activities. If the landlord dont do anything about them, then you can do whatever you want.

The thing about proper dog training is that the more you know, the more you can use towards training your dog. If you have gotten a new dog or puppy, you should work on training them right away. If they are going to be indoor dogs, you can start crate training them . This prevents bathroom accidents or your items being chewed on. Start off with the right sized crate, so that they have enough room in the crate to move around a bit.

If you are trying to crate train your dog or puppy you must understand that you can not expect them to be able to hold their bladders for extremely long periods. You must provide times for them to go to the bathroom. They don’t want to go in their special place. So it is up to you to take care of them. If they have a accident don’t get mad at them, it wasn’t their fault it was yours.

When teaching your dog discipline, regardless of what training method you use, you should always apply it with speed and consistency. Not correcting your dog for bad behavior every single time, sends him mixed signals that may only make the problem worse. Likewise, not correcting your dog immediately, may make it hard for him to understand why you are punishing him.
